Whitman Coronavirus Stories

Diary entry from Whitman Professor of History William Denison Lyman, October 21, 1918.

Whitman Coronavirus Stories: Documenting Our Lives during the COVID-19 Pandemic

The Whitman College and Northwest Archives is creating a digital archive of the Whitman community’s experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hope to collect the stories, experiences, and evidence of our changed lives, both the painful and difficult, and the unexpectedly beautiful and hopeful. You can view submissions to the digital archive in ARMINDA, our institutional repository.
